Here are some questions to test the brains.........enjoy !!

[hr]

1. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three  rooms.
  The   first is full of raging fires,
  The second is full of assassins with  loaded   guns,  and
  The third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years.
Which room is  safest for him?

2. A woman shoots her husband.Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together  and  enjoy  a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?

3. A magician was boasting one day at how long he could hold his breath under   water. His record was 6 minutes. A kid that was listening said, "that's   nothing,   I can stay under water for 10 minutes using no types of equipment or air pockets!" The magician told the kid if he could do that, he'd give him $10,000.   The kid did it and won the money. Can you figure out how?

4. There are two plastic jugs filled with water. How could you put all of this water into a barrel, without using the jugs or any dividers, and still tell which water came from which jug?

5. What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away?

6. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?

7. This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what   is so unusual about it?

It looks so plain you would think nothing was  wrong  with  it! In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you   might   find out! Try to do so without any coaching!

Salaams..

err yeah, newspapers are black and white and read all over...i thought this was kinda the same riddle but written in a different way...like black when bought..and red when used...i think they used the spelling 'red' to trick us and then it's gray when thrown away because it gets all smeared and stuff..

ah well, it's all good in the hood... i am soooooooo unbelievably idiotic when it comes time to riddles!

Take Care

Wa Salaams =)

salam,

Qu2: the woman shot a photo of her husband, held it under water to develop it, then hung it up to dry :)

and the only thing unusual about the paragraph is that it states it is an unusual paragraph ???

Coal, the answer to Q5 is coal.
question 4: put both jugs into the barrel? that way the water's in the barrel and you can still tell where it comes from?
I see there's some wierd spacing in the "unusual" paragraph.  Is that what's unusual?

Q7..the unusual paragraph.

It's unusual because the letter E is no where to be found...

...(or at least that what my eyes are telling me this part of the afternoon LOL :))
